The dark, violent aura around him grew heavier and heavier.
Heavy enough that he wanted to tear the whole of Harbor City apart.
“Where did they go after that p>
Felix…
What he was doing now could not have been more obvious. So this was how little all those years of brotherhood meant to him?
Patrick answered, “We checked. The trail went cold right away. They were clearly guarding against us p>
Evan: p>
Hearing that only made the fury inside him surge higher.
He had been poisoned and rushed to the hospital, and she had not even come to look at him.
She had not asked about him once.
So the moment he was taken into the hospital, she had gone off with Felix?
Evan ripped the IV from the back of his hand in one motion.
Patrick’s face changed. “The IV isn’t even done yet, you
But Evan acted like he had not heard him at all. He swung his legs off the bed and strode straight out of the
room.
Patrick hurried after him.
As he walked, Evan kept calling Stella.
But her number was blocked. The calls would not go through.
He still could not find her, and the anger inside him had nowhere to go.
Jennifer was woken up again.
The moment she answered, she exploded. “What is wrong with you p>
She did not care in the slightest whether the caller was Harbor City’s famous Mr. Wright.
She had been woken up twice now and was ready to lose it.
“Where are you p>
Evan’s voice came through gritted teeth.
The anger in it was even worse than before.
By now, he was already in the car.
Stella had never been taken in.

Felix had picked her up halfway there.
That one piece of information had nearly given him a heart attack from rage.
Jennifer was wide awake now, and she snapped right into the phone, “Why do you care where she is? Or are you upset she didn’t stay locked up long enough to satisfy you?
“Evan Wright, you’ve got some nerve. You really wanted her to sit in there and ‘learn a lesson’? How did I never realize your whole family was this disgusting?
“Do you people seriously have no idea what kind of things you’ve done? And somehow you still think she’s the one who needs to be taught a lesson?
“Do you even realize that with your attitude, your mother, your sister, and Suminer would absolutely make sure she suffered in there p>
Jennifer was already furious from being woken up.
Now she unloaded everything at him in one furious burst.
On the other end, Evan fell silent.
The moment he heard the words jail and lesson, his heart shot straight into his throat.
He asked, almost unable to breathe, “What exactly does she know p>
“She knows that after she was taken by the police, you had no intention of getting her out p>
Evan: p>
The air inside the car suddenly felt impossibly thin.
Jennifer gave a cold laugh. “And now you’re asking where she is? What, would your family only be satisfied if she ended up in prison? In a psych ward p>
“Where is she p>
Evan’s voice shook.
How did Stella know what his attitude had been?
He had never intended for her to find out.
Jennifer said coldly, “Somewhere she can have a life that actually belongs to her p>
She bit hard on the word belongs.
The meaning could not have been clearer.
Stella had never had even the most basic human dignity with him.
Or maybe, in Evan’s eyes, she had never really been treated like a person at all.
Their relationship had never been equal.
